Hail HYDRA! Here are the results of the competition!

Before announcing the winning trio of the competition, I would like to thank the 97 participants who all showed creativity and originality.

To be honest, I didn't think that such a contest that requires you to take your bricks out of the closet and rack your brains to come up with something coherent and attractive could bring together so many LEGO fans. Each participant will thus have contributed to demonstrate that a well-put together contest can attract and motivate many fans, even if it requires a little more than registration for a possible draw.

So I logically decided to expand the endowment and reward three participants instead of one.

That being said, to decide between the proposed creations, I called on a character that is no longer presented to LEGO fans: Marcos Bessa, official LEGO designer of many sets including the essential sets. 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout, 10236 Ewok Village, 71006 The Simpsons House et 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier.

If you want to know more about the work of Marcos Bessa and discover all the sets he is the creator, go to his website. As a bonus you will find many "Fun Facts"which will enlighten you on the details and other winks deliberately hidden in the boxes of which he is the designer.

Marcos Bessa is therefore the one and only judge of this competition: Who other than him to determine which creation deserves to win? So he went through all of the entries and he is happy to admit that he was impressed by the number of fans who tried to take up the challenge. You will find his comments on each of the winning entries following the introduction below:

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and show of creativity clearly visible in all your entries! I'm impressed with how many of you choose to give a shot at this challenge. And I must say: you all did great! I loved to see some nice touches here and there, like little thrones incorporated for Red Skull, or the use of the octopus element ... Certainly inspiring! 🙂 Keep Always the Great Work and Never Stop Building! Mark

The three creations that finished on the podium:

Who is the big winner of the contest who leaves with the set 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier ?

1st Place: Biniou  This is THE one. Obviously my favorite! It's simple, minimalistic, with the perfect size and iconic logo perfectly represented. I love the base too, with the red steps in front of RedSkull - very dramatic! Congratulations!

Who takes second place and leaves with the set 76021 The Milano Spaceship Rescue ?

Who takes third place and leaves with the set 76018 Hulk Lab Smash ?
